The formulation of TheraCranŽ is overseen by an advisory board of leading academic physicians and scientists. TheraCranŽ is the first cranberry supplement whose proanthocyanidin content has been independently tested and verified by a non-profit, independent certification program. This means that TheraCranŽ is the only cranberry supplement that you can be sure contains the same active ingredients as an 8-10 ounce glass of 27% cranberry juice cocktail.
The recommended daily dosage (2 capsules) provides the following -
1300 mg Pure Cranberry Powder, standardized to contain
2.5% proanthocyanidins and other flavonoids (32.5 mg)
Proanthocyanidins are the compounds that researchers have determined to be the "active" component of cranberries. The amount of proanthocyanidins recommended for urinary tract health is 30-35 mg per day, which is found in 8-10 ounces of cranberry juice cocktail (27% juice).
Furthermore, TheraCranŽ is the first cranberry supplement to use a new "high-potency" cranberry powder, containing 2.5% proanthocyanidins. Until now, even the best cranberry supplements on the market have contained cranberry powder with only 1% proanthocyanidins. As a result, it may take up to six capsules per day of these other supplements to get the recommended amount of active ingredients. Because TheraCranŽ provides a more concentrated dose of proanthocyanidins, only two capsules (one with breakfast and one with dinner) per day are needed.
